KISSIMMEE, Fla. (Mar. 3, 2025) – On the second night of a back-to-back, the Osceola Magic (13-9) defeated the Windy City Bulls (9-17) 125-123 in overtime on Monday night. Mac McClung scored a team-high 33 points including the game-winning three in overtime to hit the target score of 125. Myron Gardner scored 20-plus points for the second-straight game, tallying 24 points on 10-of-13 shooting from the field.

Jahmir Young led a Bulls comeback with 15 of his 26 points after halftime while dishing out nine assists. Windy City center David Muoka recorded a 14-point, 15-rebound double-double.

The Magic trailed the Bulls by two points late in the game before McClung drove into the lane and gave Colin Castleton a shovel pass for the game-tying buzzer-beater to force the extra period.

Windy City led 123-122 in overtime, but McClung hit his fifth three of the game to give the Magic their third-straight win.

Head Coach Dylan Murphy:

“The thing we talk about all the time is we’re a defensive team. When we guard at the level we are capable of, we’re a pretty good team. Obviously, we had that lapse and gave up 70 points in the second half. After you do that, it becomes a dog fight. We have to make every play, and we made a bunch of plays. Credit to our guys for sticking with it and fighting overtime. The defensive end is the most important thing for us, and we let that slide in the second half.”
